Which audio lowers
This weekend, I plan on upgrading my stereo, I'm going with the masterful, UltraNutZ selection.
Now, I'm thinking, since I'm going to be upgrading, should I just add lowers now? If so, which? I'd like to find a set that's not to big and bulky. I will be using Polk DB651 speakers.
Finally, since I just had the inner fairing painted, I wonder if I should hold off for a few weeks and then have the lowers painted to match the inner fairing. Otherwise, the different blacks will crash.
What are your opinions?
By the way, UltraNutZ thank you for everything.

yes sir anytime...
I think the lowers vented or non-vented have to come from HD. the upper piece (speaker box) you can get from just about anywhere. Most folks seem to be choosing the CVO pods because of the way they fit and the way the speakers fit inside the recessed holes. I think you'll be forced to not use the polk grills on the lowers though and instead opt for the Focal grills or the HD CVO grills. Both of those will fit without interfering with the tweeter on polks.
As for paint, if you bring it to the same guy, he should be able to match it perfectly whether it's today or 3 weeks from now.

Allz I can say is....
If you can "stand it," have the lowers (speaker boxes) painted first.
After ya crank that "juke box" up... your not gonna want to take them back off to have them painted!
Just sayin' (from experience)

no problem but I do suggest we go a different route than previously discussed if you're going to use lowers. The instructions I sent you will still be the same (for the most part) but I think we should discuss this a bit more...

I have another suggestion
fairing factory makes a nice set of lowers and with their speaker pods you don't have an odd look, AND they hold a 6.5

You help so many in here, great to help you out sometime
Fairing factory also supplies their lowers with the upgraded CVO/screaming eagle hardware, not that cheap clamp HD does with the stock lowers
